I'm sorry.   I didn't know there were official rules about how the word 'diverse' was to be used on DCUM.       I was using the  Miriam-Webster definition
"including representatives from more than one social, cultural, or [b]economic group[/b], especially members of ethnic or religious minority groups"

A school with kids from all over Europe would be wonderfully diverse -- Bosnian Muslims, Irish Catholics, and Anglo-Indians mixing with Portuguese and Swedes.      So many different languages,  cuisines, sports, music.       I want my kids to learn that Montgomery County is not the world, and that "the American way" may not be shared by the rest of the world.     Of course, I would much prefer that the school also included the Asian cultures that dominate the world.

On the other hand, I would find a school that was one-third white, one-third Latino, and one-third black Americans to not nearly as diverse.

Could you please describe the diverse economic groups represented at Churchill and Wootton?

Also, the world includes more than Europe and "the Asian cultures".[/quote]
